Despite not actually spending any money, I’ve had quite a decent IMM this week. I managed to find a few titles at the library I’ve wanted for a while (which was a nice surprise – my library isn’t usually that well stocked) and I also grabbed a e-book from NetGalley.
Library
Dragonfly by Julia Golding
I heard about this one on another blog, where is got a nice review. It’s a fantasy/romance with a period feel and I always love those, so I snatched it up. Review to come.
Fallen Grace by Mary Hooper
I’m late to this I know. Fallen Grace was all over the blogosphere a while back and Mary Hooper is a very poplar YA author of historical fiction (another favorite genre). I haven’t really clicked with her other two books I have read, but this one does sound very good and I can’t wait to see if I’ve found my Mary Hooper book.
Forgotten by Cat Patrick
Another popular title – I was very excited to see this at my local library – I’ve been considering buying it for a while now, as its had many great reviews. The cover is awkward though – I’m interested to know whether the concept/design is explained in the book!
Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs
Another mermaid book. I can’t say I’m generally a ‘mermaid’ fan, but this does sound like a good romance and the reviews I’ve read have captured my attention.
NetGalley
Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley
This one is on my ‘Not Out Yet But Must Buy ASAP’ list (yes – that’s a real list on my Amazon account) because I read a review that couldn’t praise it enough and it’s Goodreads page is just all sparkly with 4 and 5 star reviews. So I was all happy when I saw it on NetGalley, better yet with no need for publisher approval – you can just download it immediately. So that’s what I did.
What’s in your IMM this week?

Forgotten is fantastic…seriously couldn’t stop once I started. Also really liked Fallen Grace.
Graffiti Moon has been getting glowing reviews. I’m excited to read it too. You picked up some awesome books at the library. Forgotten is a nice find.
Happy reading
Great set! I’ve heard fabulous things about Forgotten. I really want to read it.
Ooh, I loved Tempest Rising and Fallen Grace so I hope you enjoy them as well! Graffiti Moon is in my TBR pile as well and I can’t to get started on it. I’ve heard so many great things about it and its author. Happy reading!
I really enjoyed forgotten, but your cover looks so much different than the one I own(:
Awesome books!

forgotten was an amazing book!! Never heard of any of the other ones but they look good
I read Graffiti Moon from Netgalley… I need like a gushing translator to be able to write a review, I loved it so much! I hope you do too, happy reading
I loooved Tempest Rising. I really hope you like it. You might want to look to see how Zero Day by her is. It’s not out yet, but it sounds great. Here’s a link to my IMM

Oooh Fallen Grace is in my To-Read pile too… actually I think I have it as an audiobook so that would be a To-Listen-To pile. And Tempest Rising looks intriguing. I love the idea of seeing what writers do with an old concept. Hope you enjoy your books!
